Dr. Qulnch's mother died within twelve

several daughters to mourn her DEATH

omit the word oxford" in directing the
envelope? When Oxford is found on il
at all, away goes the letter up to town and

posed to forward or until we can call. We
understand the railroad postmasters have

ties to send ali mail having University

in sending it up town. Instead then, oil
directing university, Oxford, Miss,
please say simply university, Miss"
We are very glad indeed to receive Vol
| l, No. l, of the Mississippi Teacher, y
published at Meridian, A. A. Kincannon,
editor. 1t certainly now is high time that
| we have journal of education for Missis-
sippi teachers. We like the sound of the
salutatory, and, in fact, all the editorials
abound in vigorous and practical thought.
The professors of the University are cor
daily invited to contribute, and it GER
tainly affords a fine opportunity for the
University to permeate It's influence
throughout the school system of the State.
We confidently hope that all will accept
and make our school journal first-class at
the very beginning. The first number
does well for a start.
New students are still coming in OF
course we are glad to receive them, but
they labor under very serious disadvan-
tages in entering after the classes have
made so much progress. One little fellow
applied last week from Tunica county
who was not prepared to enter even the
lowest classes, and consequently he re-
turned home Parents would save time
and expense by consulting the catalogue
before sending their sons, and ascertain
just what preparation is needed before
entering.
The familiar and benevolent face OF
Judge Il. A. Hill was visible from the
rostrum last Tuesday morning in chapel
We never let him off without something in
the way OF speech or talk" as he calls
it. So being called for he arose and said;
"Young gentlemen, i was with you here
on the opening morning, but being busy
ever since in Aberdeen, 1t has not been my
pleasure to be with you since. | wish
simply to express to you the qualification

hearing not only of your fine increase in
numbers, but most especi ally for the gooC
reports which constantly reached me o
your excellent behavior. Ii is a matter
worthy of praise that you, young gentle
men. have begun another session so well
As to they Dung ladies-they behave, o
course laughter. Before | sit dow1
I wish to deliver a short message iron
vour former Chancellor, Gen. Stewart
have lust received a letter from him, nov
on the Pacific coast, where he will proba
bly locate. He says that though separat
from you his sympathy and kindest feeling
are ever present with you; that his SINGER
desire is for the success and prosperity @
the University"
THE CLARION seems to be the paper c
absorbing interest this session. Students
professors, boarding house people, all wan
to borrow copy OF THE CLARION. Law
! vers and business men in town won't len
them out. They want those tables abou
the State debt They may be expecting t
60 to the Legislature some time and wan
them for future reference. Prohibitions
want every word from Bishop Gallowa,
and likewise the Anti's every word fror
! Mr. Davis. Then again, everybody wan
copies of Gen. Georges and DR.. Mayes
able articles. And so the interest ii
creases. / think more copies of tn
CLARION have been carefully fled ava
within the past few months than perhal
n all the other papers combined.
